Saturday, September 29, 2012 - Where do I start? I was blown away by the 2010 vintage of this wine and it definitely lived up to all the hype out there regarding Lapierre's wines. However, this bottle of the 2011 was really disappointing. There was no fruit. It was all wood and green. Maybe someone can help me out here. Is this typical of this wine in its youth? Could it just need more time? Or is this just an off bottle - an unfortunate side effect of bottling without sulphur? I still have 5 more bottles of this stuff and hope that the others show better than this.

Perhaps it needs a few months in the celler to settle down. Since this is usually a great wine and others seem to like this vintage, I will try it again soon to see of my opinion changes. I hope so.
